if you can't change your mood, change your mind: mindful reflections toward self-discovery, Paperback

This book shares subtle yet inspiring observations that offer new building blocks toward a compassionate self-discovery when reflecting upon daily life. Readers are treated to nuanced quips, quotes and poems that are woven with artful humor, yet possess a directness that asks the reader to pause, and bring in more of their own personal inquisitiveness toward their health and happiness.

We are shown that self-discovery and transformation happen when we make a personal choice to look within ourselves, and be curious. To notice the space of inner clarity that joins our inner wisdom with the compassionate heart.

There is no preaching or finger pointing here, but rather simple (or perhaps not so simple) messages that, upon reflection, can change the trajectory of one's thoughts and beliefs. Rik Center guides us to see that every thought and response has a cause and effect both internally and externally in our lives. He recognizes the "stingy-mind" we self create that cuts us off from feeling whole. Sit back and relax, read and absorb these various reflective offerings and see where it might lead you.
